In Sunday's 9-4 loss to the Brewers at Maryvale Baseball Park, Parra went 1-for-3 with a strikeout. The performance left his batting average at .357 and his on-base percentage at .471.
Last year, after signing for three years and $27.5 million, Parra hit .253 and walked just nine times in 102 games for a .271 OBP. His year was marred by a 46-game absence due to a left ankle injury. He finished the season as a part-time first baseman, while Dahl hit .315 with seven homers in 63 games.
Parra's at-bats this spring have been calmer.
